Effects of Fuel - Air Ratio on the Flame Propagation for S.I. Engines

Abstract

As a result of the rapid development in the various transport means, a great concern was shown in the design and development of spark-ignition engines to achieve the best efficiency and performance and to guarantee a full combustion of the fuel inside the combustion chamber to avail all the energy of the fuel entering the cylinder.

This work involves the study of the reaction equations of the combustion for stochiometric and rich cases, and the study of combustion products and their effects on the environment.
